CLOUGH STRUGGLING TO GIVE ALL SQUAD GAME TIME

WITH injuries easing at the Pirelli Stadium, Nigel Clough is struggling to give all his squad game time and may still look to send Joe Sbarra out on loan.

The Academy graduate has struggled to get into the starting line up and has found himself limited to the bench.

Clough said: “There is a possibility of him going out on loan to a Conference club which you can still do outside of the window. There’s a chance of that but no immediate plans.

“We are trying to get them all on the pitch and even with a small squad it’s difficult. Alex Bradley’s come here, and we want to get him out there. Will Miller’s doing well, Kieran Wallace is doing exceptionally well when he has come on. And outside of that, there’s still Reece Hutchinson as well as Joe.

“Although it’s good experience for all the youngsters being around the first team they want to be playing as well and we want to try and get them involved but that’s difficult when they are all fit.”
